OatsUpma

As im trying to add healthy food in to my diet...i wanted to try oats as it has high fiber and it helps to reduce cholestrol.so i brought oats home about 2weeks back with out a clue of making anything tasty out of it.After little bit of googeling i found some recipies which i thought i could give a try this upma and cookies are there in my list.So this time i tried my hand on making upma and i felt happy for doing this.this is the same usual upma procedure i have followed with some veggies.
